Money: Physics and Distributive Justice by Oded KafriMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
“GIVE me a one-handed economist,” demanded president Truman. “All my economists say, ‘on the one hand...on the other'”. This book is not like that as it takes a stand, I am just not sure where the stand is.
I received a review copy of this book, what follows is an honest review.
I thought that the college classes I had taken in micro and macro economics and physics would have prepared me for this book. I think I came out a little bit more confused then when I went in.
I am not sure where the author was going with this. At times it read like a textbook. At times it read like a series of blog posts. Sometimes he seemed to be talking about politics, other times it was deep into the subject. At places he said, if this confuses you do not read it. Then he turns around and develops off of that.
If you have a strong background in physics, not the entry level kind, this book might make a little bit more sense to you that it did to me. In which case, you might enjoy it. I am not sure who else I could recommend it to.
